Tried launching the tenchnic-launcher.jar with some of the other .exe files in my Java folder, the javaw.exe worked, and now I am able to get the launcher to appear.

The TechnicLauncher.exe I downloaded from http://www.technicpack.net/tekkit/ still fails to do anything.

I had this same issue at first. Try running as administrator. For me, it would download the launcher if needed, or just say

Checking Launcher Version

and close out instantly. Hope this helps.

EDIT: Oh, and if you don't have anything in your .techniclauncher folder than we are in the same boat.
